    More of a dlc then a fully fledged game, the escapists the walking dead had some fun missions and the idea of trying to escape whilst being hunted by zombies is quite fun. It is not as hard or as smart as the first game as it often requires less planing than some of the prisons in the original. It does sometimes get repetitive and is quite bare bones but if you liked the first game thenMore of a dlc then a fully fledged game, the escapists the walking dead had some fun missions and the idea of trying to escape whilst being hunted by zombies is quite fun.

    It's not awful, but splicing these two series together adds no value for fans of either one. It is both an inferior Walking Dead game and an inferior Escapists. [Issue#130, p.82]

    There are brief hints at what might have been, but otherwise this is a walking dud. [Dec 2015, p.81]

    A more forgiving spin on the prison-break theme of The Escapists, The Escapists: The Walking Dead removes some of the high stress from the original and gives the player more room to breathe and enjoy what was great about it.
